let the voting begin!

I'm a finalist in a contest to win a scholarship for PlayhouseSquare's Cabaret 101 class. This is a great program that teaches the art of putting on a cabaret act, including developing skills in singing, presentation, creativity, and self-confidence. I know one of the instructors and am very interested in the class, and if I win this contest they will waive the admission fee!

If I don't win, I won't be able take the class, and you all won't get to see me perform a 15-minute set at the Idea Center at PlayhouseSquare this November. :)

Anyway, voting goes until next Thursday (a week from today), so I'd love it if you would all help me out. You don't have to register or anything; just click the link below and scroll to the bottom to vote. Of course you're also welcome to watch all three videos if you really want to make an informed decision. :D

Here is a description of the class from the website:

Mondays October 5 - November 23, 2009
Cabaret 101 is an 8-week series of classes designed to teach participants about this exciting music genre. Background and experience are not necessary. In the relaxed and supportive class environment attendees will learn about the art of singing a song in an intimate cabaret setting, discover a new form of self-expression, tap into creativity, and discover new self-confidence. By the end of the session, participants will perform their own 15-minute set. The lessons and skills you learn in Cabaret 101 can build your self confidence as a performer, an actor, a salesperson, a manager, and even a parent. Class size is limited to 8 participants.
